Business Administration (Major Plus)


The Else School of Management offers a program designed to permit students pursuing degrees other than the Bachelor of Business Administration (BS or BA), to complete the Master of Business Administration with only one additional year of study beyond the bachelor’s degree program. The program is called the Major Plus Program in Business Administration. The following courses, which constitute the foundation courses of the Master of Business Administration program, may be taken as general electives during the student’s bachelor’s program:

A non-B.B.A. student who successfully completes the prescribed courses will be in a position to earn the Master of Business Administration by completing the upper-level courses pertinent to that degree program. This can be done in 12-15 months of study at Millsaps College. For details about the Major Plus Program, contact the Director of Graduate Admissions.

Else Early Start into Graduate School at Millsaps


Current BBA Millsaps undergraduate students who wish to matriculate directly into the graduate business programs at Millsaps may do so, in some cases, before they complete their undergraduate degree. Millsaps seniors who have accumulated enough undergraduate hours that they do not have to take a full course load the second semester of their senior year in order to graduate are eligible to take up to six graduate hours during that semester. To do so, all admissions requirements must be met, (except for those calling for completion of the student’s bachelor’s degree), and the student must submit an application with all required materials, including a GMAT score (if required) and letters of recommendation for consideration. If the MBA or MAcc Council approves the student, he/ she will be conditionally admitted to the appropriate graduate program. Students who are conditionally admitted will be able to take up to six hours. Students may take any graduate course for which they have completed the prerequisite courses. All coursework must be approved by the graduate advisor. Students accepted into this program will pay a rate equal to full-time undergraduate tuition and fees.
